nefoat of Bismarck.

Notwithstanding the threats of Prince Bis
marck, the Reiehstag on last Friday refused
to vote the appropriation TO Increase the army,
and Immediately an imperial message was
read by Bismarck dissolving the body, just as
he had threatened to do in the event OF
non. compliance with the wishes of the gov
eminent. The defeat of the government was
not unexpected. Bismarck, himself, antici-
pated it, for he had already the decree OF
dissolution by the Emperor in his desk, and
active political movements had been going on
for week or two anticipating new election.
The number of seats likely to be severely con-
tested is estimated at so. OF these Sc are
held by Progressists and fourteen by the Cen
tire party. All the other seats are considered
to be firmly held. The fourteen seats of the
Centre party which are imperilled are situated
in southern Germany, and were formerly held
by the National Liberals. The Government
may win them back under the pressure OF pa
triotic excitement, which is running high in
The southern States, but the general opinion
continues to be against the chances OF the
Governments obtaining a majority. What
ever may be the result the Government will
adhere to It's original demands.
If the coming Reichstag confirms the de-
cisions of the last one, Prince Bismarck may
ignore that body and apply to the separate
legislatures to sanction an increase of the
army. This course is indicated in the passage
of his speech in which he reminded the Reich
stag that the Emperor is always able, asking
of Prussia, to appeal with confidence to the
Pruss;an Parliament for the means of guard
ing the Fatherland. Or he may try for
period to rule without Budget, trusting ii
the end to obtain vote of indemnify. The
elections will be watched with the most in
tense interest where the contests are expected
TO turn on narrow majorities.

As to the present condition of Democracy
and what it is doing, Gen. Black, Commits
sioner of Pensions, gives picture in re-
cent letter TO Allen G. Thurman, which is
calculated to rejoice the heart of every one to
whom success is dear. Said he;
IA triumphant Democracy administers the
affairs of the Republic. Quietly but positive
~ the reforms that have long been demanded
BY the people so far as the administrative
branch Of the Government is concerned, are
in vigorous effect. Economy and law are the
standards ofofficial action. craftsmanship does
not now throw its sword into the scales of
justice. Submission to assessments by public
officials for partisan purposes is not q condi-
sion of public service. Contracts are not let
TO the highest partisan bidder and the public
lands are safe within the pale ofthe statutes. "
What more could be said in behalf of the
great party which has brought about these
things ia the brief space oftwenty-t months?

Not Alive to Their Interests.

Farmers are said TO be accustomed to COM
plain of taxes. But the late farmers conven-
ton did not seem to be afraid of taxation in
the least. Senator Aliens report in favor OF
taxing mortgages, which would have lightened
the burden on land in this State, by some two
hundred millions, was voted down by large
majority. And a resolution in favor. of tar
if for revenue instead Of high tariff which
cripples commerce and trade and tends to
keep down the price of grain, was tabled until
the next convention. These two subjects, of
the most pressing necessity TO farmers, were
the very matters, of all others, to receive
their adverse action. They should not CON-
plain any more of taxes or of the low price OF
cereals. Senator Allen, of Hartford, seems
to have had the more intelligent appreciation
of taxation. We think they could not do
better than to study up on these subjects be-
fore the meeting of the next convention in
December. Farmers must be politicians, to
some extent at least, if they would fully APP
preciate their true interests. Henry George,
the New York socialist, would lay all the tax
